Workflow
Photo Happy Hour
05/17/22 • 45 min
One of the most common complaints we see, especially from newer photographers, is how much time they spend in front of the computer, up until the wee hours of the morning, editing, retouching, etc. We often talk about getting it "right in camera," which can save a lot of time. This week we talk about what you do after the session; do you have an efficient, time-saving workflow?
Photo Happy Hour is brought to you by MoLight, Seniors Unlocked, and Carl's Coaching Corner.

Copyright -- What you need to know
Photo Happy Hour
05/27/21 • 61 min
As often as photographers complain about copyright, we also find that many photographers do not really understand how copyright works. In this episode we lay down some very useful knowledge about copyright*, the CASE Act, and more. As Michael says, "Y'all need to learn this because it's going to save your butt and maybe make you money."
